I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

• No DABs, external links OK
• Drop the terminal zero for the length in the infobox and main body
  • Fixed
• Be consistent about using the times sign in the propulsion field in the infobox
  • Good catch
• Any publication history for File:Battleship USS KEARSARGE 1908 (TRANSPORT 1199).jpg?
  • Can't find anything - replaced
• File:USS Kearsarge Brassey's.png is this one of Barnaby's drawings? Needs a British tag as well, I believe
  • Fixed
• The sourcing on File:BB05 Kearsarge BB06 Kentucky USN photo www.navsource.org.jpg needs to be improved. See if you can find it on the Library of Congress website.
  • I can't track it down, I'll just cut it for now
• Couldn't access File:USS Kearsarge as crane ship AB-1.jpg to see what the sourcing was. But it also needs to be improved.
  • Replaced
    • Much better photo, though I'd update the copyright info to the standard NHHC format before the ACR.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:27, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
• Use the sourcing data for File:Uss kentucky bb-6.jpg from the NHHC
  • Fixed
• what were to become the Kearsarge class what were? Howzabout "that became" or somesuch?
  • Works for me
• Watch your conversion for 12 inch
  • Fixed
• No need to convert 13 inches in the 2nd para of the Design section and 8 inches in the following para
  • Removed
• had made improvements to their gun turret designs, significant weight savings were achieved convoluted
  • I think that got rewritten a few times too many
• 12-inch guns could be penetrate even missing word
  • Fixed
• Link long ton in the main body, also elevation
  • Done
• 16.816 knots Three trailing digits seems a bit excessive; suggest just one.
  • Fair enough
• Use this as a model for 2-inch-thick: {{convert|24|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} and remove the conversion for 2 inches in the following para.
  • Thanks
• Is there a link for Mosher boiler? Never heard of them before
  • Not that I was able to find
• More later.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:53, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks Sturm. Parsecboy (talk) 14:12, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
• I'd missed File:USSkearsarge-bb5-underway.jpg earlier, but the sourcing needs to be improved. All of the other photos are up to snuff although there's a bit of a ping-pong effect going on
  • Cleaned up
• 2-inch-thick for the 13-inch No need to hyphenate 2 inches thick
  • Fixed
• Provide a conversion for 6 mm
  • Done
• Link the nautical terms in the header of the table unless previously used and then removed the links from the following text.
  • Done
• When did the turret accident occur?
  • Whoops!
• I'd add something like Kentucky joining her sister in the 4th division.
  • Tweaked
• Anything more substantial available on what Kentucky did in Veracruz
  • Not much from DANFS, at least
• Link New England and West Coast.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:27, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Done. Parsecboy (talk) 17:25, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
